The ratings reflect BHRthe company7;s leading position in ThailandRthe company7;s private healthcare industry, its strong market position in the medical tourist segment, and stable cash flow. However, these strengths are partially offset by competition in local and international healthcare markets, the risk from having single location, and the potential risks from BHRthe company7;s future investments.
